What is the total number of protons and neutron's in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
How many neutrons dose aluminum-24 have?
Looking at a periodic table, you see Al is number 13. It has 13 protons in the nucleus,so to have a total mass number of 24, it must have 11 nuetrons. Mass number = # protons + # nuetrons
What is the total number protons and neutrons in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
How do you figure the number of nuetrons from the number of protons?
Mass number will help you. Mass number is the total of neutrons and protons.
Total number of particles in the nucleus is called what?
There are two types of particles in the nucleus of an atom, which are the Protons and the Neutrons. The number of particles in the nucleus depends what is the element. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and Phosphorus has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the nucleus.
If you know the atomic number and the mass number of an isotope how could you figure out the number of neutrons in its nucleus.?
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.

How many protons and electrons and neutrons does Ge-74 have?
The isotope Germanium -72 has 32 proton, 40 neutrons and 32 electrons. Two other stable isotopes are Ge-70 (38 neutrons) and Ge-74 (42 neutrons) both with the same numbers of protons and electrons as Ge-72 There is also a low percentage stable isotope Ge-73
What is the differnece between mass number and atomic number?
Answer 1The mass number of a nuclide is the sum of the mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Protons and Neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (electrons are not included since the mass relative to the mass of a proton and neutron is to small to count in the total mass. The atomic number of an atom corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus, and that is the difference.Answer 2Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope. Atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of an element.
The mass number of an elements is equal to?
the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic number of an element is always the same as?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element.
What is the total number of both the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
Mass Number
